Accessing Sub Model/ Model Browser and Radiation Calcs in AutoLISP

Hi everyone, 

 

I am very new to AutoLISP and have been wanting to somehow access certain nodes in a sub model of my model browser and change the radiation setting of the nodes. For example, a node is named "LV_.2" in a "LV" sub model.

 

Though I run into an issue with a ssget or entget call in my .lsp file. As when I do that for any given object, I don't see the name "LV_.2" in the entities data. I wanted to ask if there's any way to access the sub model in the model browser and correlate the name, "LV_.2", to the actual entity's internal fields such as entity name or entity handle. As I then want to make changes to the entity's radiation setting in my thermal desktop tab. 

 

Note: I have a list of nodes that I need to change that are only labelled via the "LV_.#" naming convention.

you don't have to share the exact file...make something up that shows this kind of setup inside the dwg so community has an idea of what it looks like

This is a screenshot of an example. I only made one surface to illustrate the model tree. Though I have multiple surfaces all under "LV_" and then a list of nodes which I want to edit radiation properties for a given surface corresponding to a node number in that list

Are you running something other than vanilla AutoCAD?

I am using thermal desktop add-on, otherwise vanilla AutoCAD

Does thermal desktop add-on give you this window?

I also don't know what is a Submodel Node Tree

Have you contacted the authors of this software, getting inside custom software can be a nightmare, NEED A DWG.
